I don't know what I expected, but my first morning in the Oval Office had a surprising ring of familiarity to it. It reminded me a lot of my job as governor.

Cold, hungry, scared as hell inside, but too damn brave to admit it.

Government must not supersede the will of the people or the responsibilities of the people. The function of government is not to confer happiness, but to give men the opportunity to work out happiness for themselves.

You on the cutting edge of technology have already made yesterday's impossibilities the commonplace realities of today.

America's best days are yet to come.

Our government needs the church, because only those humble enough to admit they're sinners can bring democracy the tolerance it requires to survive

We will never disarm any American who seeks to protect his or her family from fear and harm.
